[Pkg-nginx-maintainers] Bug#863602: nginx: Restart should check conf files before stopping service

[Olaf van der Spek]

Subject: nginx: Restart should check conf files before stopping service
Package: nginx
Version: 1.10.3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

1. A conf file was edited, a bug was inserted but it wasn't loaded.
2. A (letsencrypt) script invoked a service restart (maybe it
shouldn't), but the service didn't come backup due to the bug in the
conf file.

I think the conf files should be checked in restart before the old
service is stopped.
Perhaps even better, but I'm not sure if systemd and nginx supports
this, would be for the new instance to be fully started before the old
one is stopped.

Gr,

Olaf
